Loading Brushes into CS2

[Thinking_Mommy]

I seem to have caught the brush bug, and YES, I was actually able to find them on my own! LOL! I got many of them from Deviantart.com
How do I get them loaded into CS2? Is there a way to use them in PSP X2 as well (I am not as familiar with it...do they even have brushes!? LOL!)
Thanks!

I don't know about PSP, but with Photoshop, this tutorial will show you exactly how to do it. I'd explain it myself, but the tutorial has pictures And the site has some incredibly cool brushes

I think I'll have a look on that site myself. Thanks.

Worked wonderfully! Thanks!

Here is an embarrassing question.

I have never understood the brush thing -- of what use are they?

They're useful for the more creative stuff, either adding things in or doing the textured / grunge look on photos.

for example ELAY if you had a picture of a baby or a bride and wanted it to be creative you could use a lace brush to paint around the edges or across the bottom and then add text or really anywhere you'd like to add the effect.

Thanks nicole for another great link!

The brushes I got were for scrapbooking and also for touching photos for people (adding hair, thicker lashes etc.).
I am looking for a good scratch brush though... One that will make the photo look like it was either scratched or folded at some point!
